| Title: |
Effects of Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBFS) in Portland Cement Concrete (PCC) - Expanded Study |
| PI: |

University of Wisconsin-Madison |
| Project: |
In 1999 strength results from patching concrete containing ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) on Interstate Hwy I-90 came in unacceptably low. This study will examine the problems associated in public-domain literature with the use of GGBFS including incompatibility with admixtures, unusual air void systems, slow strength gain and high shrinkage. |
| Task List: |
- Monitoring the variability of GGBFS composition
- Strength gain and air void development with different cements, air entraining admixtures and temperatures
- Deicer Scaling Tests with different curing compounds and cement replacement levels
- Reporting
